This is partly because it leaves at such high elevations (11,811 – 15,090 feet above sea level) along the high Andes of Peru, Chile, Bolivia, and Argentina. The Andean Avocet is not a rare bird, but not a lot of folks have seen it. Andean Avocet. Photo: Till Nierman.

Once at home, I looked at Wildfowl by Steve Madge and Hilary Burn, to quickly discover that I was watching the Chiloe Wigeon , indigenous to Chile and Argentina. (I also digiscoped a few lousy photos.) Well, an escapee it may be, but still something totally new and challenging (also, a first for Serbia).

The largest of the Andean flamingos is native to the wetlands and shallow alkaline lakes of the high Andes mountain range, from southern Perú to northwestern Argentina and northern Chile. Egg harvesting to sell as food was intensive then, with thousands taken annually from the breeding colonies in Chile.

We had been birding the north-west side of Argentina for 7 days and drove more than 3,000 km. This was the first part of our birding trip to Argentina and it was coming to an end. The drive back to Tucuman was uneventful and thanks to our trusty GPS we were never lost for very long.

Shorebirds appeared in posts by folks from Peru, Chile and Argentina not from folks from Central America. Because shorebirds start relatively early and shoot out to the wintering grounds without much stopping over, they also showed in my feed earlier than all other Neotropical migrants.

As it streaks across the Andean skies of Bolivia and Argentina with its flashy tail, its not hard to see how this bird got the name “comet&#. Found in Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, this bird is called the “tufted flower kisser” in some of the areas that it is found. Coming in at no. 19 is the celestial Red-tailed Comet.
